I'd use loose powder. For a revolver Pyrodex P is recommended but I use RS with no problems.

Never said what type of weapon you intending to use. (traditional or inline)

I believe he said on another thread a Pietta .36 but I disremember if it was a Police or Navy.

Pyrodex pellets for revolvers, as far as I know are only available in .44 cal in 30 grain size. I use them all the time in my Pietta 1860 Army. They work great. I wish they did make them in .36 cal 25 grain.

Can't comment on using them in pistols but I don't care for pellets in long guns.

I didn't want pellets, but every Pyrodex 'P' container I see online they refer to as pellets...?????:confused:

That's loose powder in the bottle. The pellets come in a smaller container.

Hawg, you use RS the FFg equivalent in your revolvers? .44 and .36?

Sure do. I use P when I can find it which isn't often but the RS works fine, maybe a little less velocity but not noticeable.

If you can't find P there is also select. Like Hawg said, pretty much indistinqishable burn rate difference.

Don't use much pyrodex here. The way I see it. If wanting convenience. Those pre-measured drop in pellets are the way to go. If wanting a specific powder charge tailored for your rifles utmost ability. Granular Pyrodex than.

Always pay attention to your weapons manufactures guidelines concerning suggested loadings and the proper propellent/s to use in their products.
